Sexps aside, no continuations, no TCO, and no macros mean that JS is actually pretty far from Lisp.

- geoffschmidt 14y agoIt's Scheme that has continuations and TCO (guaranteed by the spec) -- Common Lisp has neither, I believe.
- hassy 14y agoI think you're right. What I was trying to point out is that learning "Lisp" (which one?) is not a good way to get better at Javascript. Lua or Io - maybe, but even then the suggestions of other people in the thread for actual JS resources are so much better.
